Abstract

A blog is a website or online journal that contains a variety of information and displays the most recent at the top of the page containing the thoughts of one or more authors and has a coherent order of uploads. The role of blogs is very important for students in English lessons, especially in improving writing skills, so that they can express their writing freely and can gather some ideas. The corpus of students' English writing on blogs can be an important reference source for learning because the corpus can show the number and types of words that students use in their process of learning to write in English. This quantitative research collects data from 5 students' blogs. The corpora data were collected using AntConc and analyzed by word class using content analysis. The results of this study indicate that the word classes contained in student blogs have different variations (noun, adjective, adverb, verb, interjection, conjunction, pronoun, preposition, auxiliary, and verb be). All student blogs have 731 words and 2667 tokens. The most widely used word class is nouns with a total of 258 words. The findings of this study can be a reference for a better understanding of students' corpora in English. This finding can also add to the collection of student corpora in the existing literature on linguistics and applied linguistics.
